    I wish that growing up I had more stuff like this in my art classes and not just examples with a lecture. I love to draw but all the techniques and the technical stuff has pushed me out of it for years because I didn't understand it. But now watching them be used in the midst of drawing makes it a lot more clear than looking at finished products.

  • @sekai9906

    Sometimes I watch series/movies and get distracted trying to find the compositions. When there's a still shot it may be composed well and then lose that composition as the camera moves until it rests on the next shot. Sometimes even panning to the next shot has compositional elements in that panning. It's amazing! Somebody did so much planning and design.
